All scripture was written for us.
Not all scripture is written to us.
Scripture Study Tips
When dissecting any verse of scripture. Ask yourself, of whom, to whom, with what words, what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what is written before and what follows any single verse context.
^^^Myles Coverdale, Bible theologian/translator.^^^
So, ask: Who is writing? Who’s it written to? What are the circumstances? What’s the context before? What's the context after?
Parsing Matt 24:13
Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Invariably posted, OUT OF CONTEXT. Remove the TEXT and all that's left is the CON!
Matt 24:13 Proper Context.
Who is the speaker? JESUS
Who is Jesus speaking to? JEWS ONLY, There are ""NO"" Christians yet.
Jesus is answering JEWS (NOT CHRISTIANS)
What is the question about? THE END TIMES!
Jesus is speaking about? ISRAELS END TIME FUTURE
Context: Matt 24 vs:3-12 Jesus is speaking to "Jews only about Israels Future" Fortelling the tribulation period to come. BTW the tribulation is referred to as JACOB/ISRAELS TROUBLE. Jeremiah 30:7
vs 3, disciples ask when will the end come,
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
(NOTE: All this didn't happen during the 1st century)
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
(NOTE: vs 7 is the beginning of sorrows)
13 He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved
(NOTE: Jews that are alive during the great tribulation & make it to the end (only a few "Remnant" make it Rom 9:27 ) AND ALL THAT DO WILL BE SAVED!)
14 This "gospel of the kingdom" shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations & then shall the end come
(NOTE: This still hasn't happened)
These passages "ARE NOT" written to Christians! There are "NO" Christians yet!
